Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (RUN SNAPPY) (5-1) - He's one of seven in this eight-horse field that's making his first start. A $230,000 purchase by 'Runhappy,' he's working above average, has the rail, and can win this with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #4 (Stratofortress) (7-2) - This colt by 'The Factor' sold for $250,000 last October as a yearling. He has some quick works showing and is from the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Jerry Hollendorfer. A threat if ready with leading rider Rispoli aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Harlan Estate) (8-1) - This colt debuts for Peter Eurton and is bred to like the grass. The barn is capable first out and the latest four of his local drills are all well above average.
4th pick: #2 (Hot Rod Charlie) (5-2) - The only one entered with experience, he finished 4th of six, missing by just over two lengths when debuting here on the dirt at this level and distance July 11. He's worked three times since, the latest a sharp five-furlong drill Aug. 7.
